Stemming from hindrance media free worry, FCC( Federal Communications Commission) in same area has carried on the limit to a media company's media number, early FCC even stipulated that TV Network cannot the same area simultaneously have over two public TV Station again, but these limit in the promotion of development as well as under capital forces of time have been relaxing, will otherwise not form afterward North America several big media companies to monopolize the phenomenon occurrence of news channel. ●⌒, 出于妨碍媒体自由的担忧,fcc（联邦通讯委员会）对一家媒体公司在同一地区内的媒体数目进行了限制,早期fcc甚至规定一家电视网不能再同一地区同时拥有两家以上的公共电视台,不过这些限制在时代的发展以及资本势力的推动下一直都在放宽,否则也不会形成后来北美几大传媒公司垄断新闻渠道的现象发生。●⌒, However, at this time the limit of FCC is quite as before strict, ABC TV Network winds to cover entire United States, for through the verification of FCC, Firefly must pledge that to strip situated in Los Angeles public young people TV Station that will purchase initially Disney obtains when certain deadline. 不过,此时fcc的限制依旧比较严格,abc的电视网络覆盖整个美国,为了通过fcc的审核,萤火虫只得承诺在一定期限内将当初收购迪斯尼时获得的位于洛杉矶一家公共青少年电视台剥离出去。 Has solved these problems, Firefly and ABC merger and acquisition case obtained the verification of FCC quickly. 解决了这些问题,萤火虫与abc的并购案很快获得了fcc的审核。 Accepts the FCC verification at the same time, Firefly started the large-scale debt finance program. The Firefly recent two years have realized the superelevation profit, but to guarantee the company sufficient cash flow, Eric only planned that extracts 2 billion USD cash to be used in this purchase from the company, surplus 8 billion USD completely through issue debentures collection. 接受fcc审核的同时,萤火虫就开始了大规模的债务融资计划。萤火虫最近两年时间都实现了超高盈利,但为了保证公司充足的现金流,艾瑞克只打算从公司抽取20亿美元的现金用于这次收购,剩余80亿美元全部通过发行债券筹集。 Firefly as well as the future merge later ABC TV Network to have the big fine property, adds on two company similarly stable operation conditions and profits again anticipated, nobody will suspect that Firefly future payment ability, the Moody and other credit rating organization's credit ratings to Firefly maintains in very high aa level about. 萤火虫以及将来合并之后的abc电视网都拥有大笔的优良资产,再加上两家公司同样稳定的运营状况和盈利预期,没有人会怀疑萤火虫将来的偿付能力,穆迪等信用评级机构对萤火虫的信用评级都维持在非常高的aa级左右。 Therefore, entire one week, Eric came from Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch as well as the investment bank management from various countries is surrounding, after all, related to 8 billion USD bond issuance, investment bank, if attains this business, basic pulling out becomes spread enough they who as well as in the release process earns gets over a hundred million USD profits, in the 90's the profit for the year of United States majority of investment bank also has about 1 billion USD. 因此,整整一个星期,艾瑞克都被来自摩根士丹利、贝尔斯登、美林证券以及来自世界各国的投资银行高管们包围着,毕竟,涉及到80亿美元的债券发行,投资银行如果拿到这笔生意,基本的抽成以及发行过程中赚取的利差足够他们获得上亿美元的利润,九十年代美国大部分投资银行的年利润也只有十亿美元左右。 To raise this huge fund as soon as possible, Eric obeyed initially the suggestion of Chris, has chosen Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank two head of household credit corroboratives undertakes 4 billion USD bond issuance separately, simultaneously in North America and Europe collection fund. 为了尽快筹集到这笔巨额资金,艾瑞克听从了当初克里斯的建议,选择了摩根士丹利和德意志银行两家主承销商分别承担40亿美元的债券发行,同时在北美和欧洲筹集资金。 Has bustled about in New York truly for one week, because the time was being surrounded by the massive media. Under Eric cannot even go to Long Island to see immediately on pair of children of turning a year old, when did not have the opportunity adjusted one thin with place New York Kathryn. 在纽约真正忙碌了一个星期,因为时刻被大量媒体包围着。艾瑞克甚至没能去长岛看望下马上就满周岁的一对儿女,也就更没有机会去调细一下同时身处纽约的凯瑟琳了。 On March 21, although the New York business is as before complicated, Eric actually has to sit to return to the Los Angeles airplane. Attends the 66 th Oscar presentation ceremony. 3月21日,虽然纽约的事务依旧千头万绪,艾瑞克却不得不坐上返回洛杉矶的飞机。去参加第66届奥斯卡颁奖典礼。 The small gulf stream commerce machine landing of Firefly Inc. at the Santa Monica airport, felt that some people patted the racket on their shoulder, Eric have then opened both eyes, saw front stature tall and slender stewardess, Eric nods gently. Station. 萤火虫公司旗下的小型湾流商务机降落在圣莫妮卡机场,感觉到有人在自己肩膀上拍了拍,艾瑞克这才睁开双眼,看到面前身材高挑的空姐,艾瑞克轻轻点点头。站了起来。 In New York one week, must be able to rest to the night every day, now Eric only wants well sleeps. 在纽约的一周,每天都要到深夜才能休息,艾瑞克现在唯一想要的就是好好睡一觉。 Carries a suitcase all alone to go down the airplane, looked at the watch, is afternoon five o'clock, feels the top of the head warm genial sunlight, Eric realized what on the wrist watch demonstrates is the United States Eastern Time, at this time Los Angeles should in the afternoon two o'clock, start to the Oscar presentation ceremony the remaining five hours. 拎着一个手提箱孤身一人走下飞机,看了看手表,已经是下午五点钟,感受到头顶温暖和煦的阳光,艾瑞克才意识到腕表上显示的是美国东部时间,此时洛杉矶应该还是下午两点钟,离奥斯卡颁奖典礼开始剩下五个小时。 As United States even is one of the world most important movie presentation ceremonies, participates in the Oscar star within several days to be often ready in full battle array at the presentation ceremony. Eric thinks like oneself situation may be rarely seen, he receives the Oscar organization committee has mailed to him promulgation lines three days ago, because just with the purchase team was discussing at that time bond issuance detail, Eric simply looked at several, now in the brain basically has forgotten up. 作为美国甚至是全世界最重要的电影颁奖典礼之一,参加奥斯卡的明星往往在颁奖典礼几天之内就已经严阵以待。艾瑞克心想像自己这样的情况可不多见,他只是在三天前接到了奥斯卡组委会邮递给他的的一份颁奖台词,只不过因为当时正与收购团队讨论债券发行的细节,艾瑞克只是简单地看了几眼,现在脑子里基本上已经忘光了。 However, what is good must issue because of him is the final best picture, close to the presentation ceremony last act, will not have too the limit regarding the lines of presenting guest of honor again, displays at will, Eric believes that institute nobody will also look for himself to do accounts. 不过,好在他要颁发的是最后的最佳影片,临近颁奖典礼尾声,对于颁奖嘉宾的台词也不会再有太多限制,随意发挥一下,艾瑞克相信学院也没人会找自己算账。 What comes to pick is Kapoor. Although the Eric status has been separated from the Director level by far, but such as attendance and other matters concerned will give the icm help to arrange as before. 前来接机的是卡普尔。虽然艾瑞克的身份已经远远脱离了导演层次,不过诸如出席活动等事宜依旧会交给icm帮忙安排。 They chatted are boarding a business automobile, Kapoor have cracked a joke to say to Eric: „Also only then you were so careless to Oscar, some company stars hear to attend. Even will unable to sleep consecutively for several days.” 两人谈笑着上了一辆商务车,卡普尔才对艾瑞克开玩笑道:“也只有你对奥斯卡这么漫不经心了,公司一些明星听到要出席。甚至会连续好几天睡不着觉。” Eric has hinted under the light dark pouche toward Kapoor with a smile, said with a smile: „I cannot guarantee now can one fall asleep on Oscar, was right, do they give the seat that I arrange unable in the first row?” 艾瑞克笑着朝卡普尔示意了下自己淡淡的黑眼圈,笑道:“我现在都不能保证自己会不会在奥斯卡上睡着,对了,他们给我安排的座位不会在第一排吧？” Kapoor said: „Do you think? Whose present dares to arrange you in the secondary corner.” 卡普尔道:“你以为呢？谁现在敢把你安排在次要的角落里啊。” „Good,” Eric shrugs: „If I nap on Oscar, it is estimated that also meets the presentation ceremony to increase the viewing ratio.” “好吧,”艾瑞克耸耸肩:“如果我在奥斯卡上打盹儿,估计也会给颁奖典礼增加收视率的。” Kapoor has smiled. A moment later, he said: „Was right, do you have the attention recent Hollywood news?” 卡普尔笑了起来。片刻之后,他才说道:“对了,你有关注最近的好莱坞新闻吗？” Eric shakes the head saying: „No, had an accident?” 艾瑞克摇头道:“没有,出什么事了？” „Last week, Michael Ovitz has sold out the CAA stock, this morning, Japan Matsushita Group announced that appointed Michael Ovitz to hold the post of Universal Pictures Chairman, Michael Eisner must perform the heart surgery immediately,” Kapoor, said: „The Michael Eisner heart issue is serious, I heard, four heavy bridging surgery success ratios that this time must carry on are only about 75%.” “上个星期,迈克尔.奥维茨卖掉了caa的股份,今天上午,日本松下集团宣布任命迈克尔.奥维茨担任环球影业总裁,迈克尔.艾斯纳马上就要进行心脏手术了,”卡普尔顿了顿,道:“迈克尔.艾斯纳的心脏问题非常严重,我听说,这次要进行的四重搭桥手术成功率只有75%左右。” Eric and Kapoor with the Michael Eisner not anything friendship, let alone the result of Eric also very clear Michael Eisner this heart surgery, therefore does not have what idea, but asked: „Hasn't Matsushita made Michael Eisner leave job?” 艾瑞克和卡普尔都与迈克尔.艾斯纳没什么交情,更何况艾瑞克还很清楚迈克尔.艾斯纳这次心脏手术的结果,因此也没有什么想法,只是问道:“松下没有让迈克尔.艾斯纳离职吗？” „Universal the state of operation of time has been improved in the two years, so long as Michael Eisner successfully completes the heart surgery, can regain the past active status as before, Japanese also in the waiting result.” “环球这两年时间的经营状况一直在好转,迈克尔.艾斯纳只要顺利完成心脏手术,依旧能够恢复以往的工作状态,日本人也在等待结果吧。” „I thought actually in the future Universal definitely will fall into troublesome,” Eric said with a smile: „Although Michael Ovitz the CAA management unusual is good, but, Film Studio after all is not Brokerage Firm, if Michael Eisner cannot very this surgery, then Michael Ovitz wants to maintain the Universal aspect is not that easy matter. The people said that Michael Eisner can successfully complete surgery, then the aspect was more amusing.” “我倒是觉得将来环球肯定会陷入麻烦,”艾瑞克笑着说道:“虽然迈克尔.奥维茨将caa经营的非常好,不过,电影公司毕竟不是经纪公司,如果迈克尔.艾斯纳没能挺过这次手术,那么迈克尔.奥维茨想要维持环球的局面并不是那么容易的事情。人说迈克尔.艾斯纳能够顺利完成手术,那么局面就更加好玩了。” Kapoor sees on the Eric face some smiling faces of taking pleasure in others'misfortunes, asked: „What meaning?” 卡普尔看到艾瑞克脸上有些幸灾乐祸的笑容,问道:“什么意思？” „Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz friend, although is better, but this is only in the situation in not involving the corporate power dispute, two people both are that control want very intense person, once Michael Eisner passed the surgery smoothly, then Universal Pictures likely is mired in internal authority dispute,” Eric was saying, suddenly also asked: „Was right, Michael Eisner does have to the Michael Ovitz preparation golden color parachute and so on employment agreement?” “迈克尔.艾斯纳和迈克尔.奥维茨虽然是非常要好的朋友,但这只是在不涉及公司权力纷争的情况下,两个人都是那种控制欲非常强烈的人,一旦迈克尔.艾斯纳顺利度过手术,那么环球影业很可能陷入内部的权力纷争,”艾瑞克说着,突然又问道:“对了,迈克尔.艾斯纳有没有给迈克尔.奥维茨预备金色降落伞之类的聘用协议？” In the memory, Michael Ovitz worked for more than one year to carry off the 100 million multi- USD leaving job compensatory payment in Disney, was because Michael Eisner gave Michael Ovitz to customize a compensation amount very high golden color parachute agreement beforehand. 记忆里,迈克尔.奥维茨在迪斯尼工作了一年多就带走了一亿多美元的离职补偿金,就是因为迈克尔.艾斯纳事先给迈克尔.奥维茨量身定做了一份补偿金额非常高的金色降落伞协议。 „Probably has such a matter, otherwise Michael Ovitz such simply will not give up CAA joining in Universal Pictures, five years ago Sony just purchased Columbia time also invited Michael Ovitz to wield the company, at that time Michael Ovitz rejects immediately.” “好像有这么回事,否则的话迈克尔.奥维茨也不会这么干脆地放弃caa投身到环球影业,五年前索尼刚刚收购哥伦比亚的时候也邀请过迈克尔.奥维茨执掌公司,当时迈克尔.奥维茨立刻就拒绝了。” „This and that's the end,” Eric with a smile nods: „We wait to look at good play, in the future Universal will be definitely lively.” “这就是了,”艾瑞克笑着点点头:“我们就等着看好戏吧,将来环球肯定会非常热闹的。” Kapoor also nods, but expression somewhat is unusual. 卡普尔也跟着点点头,不过表情却有些异样。 Eric notes the Kapoor look, asked with a smile: „Won't you want to change professions the Film Studio management like Michael Ovitz?” 艾瑞克注意到卡普尔的神色,笑着问道:“你不会也想要像迈克尔.奥维茨那样转行电影公司高管吧？” The Kapoor slight bow, had not denied. 卡普尔微微点头,没有否认。 Eric is very clear, the majority of Brokerage Firm management yearns for into the Film Studio high level, not only this means a richer salary, more widespread authority. 艾瑞克很清楚,大部分经纪公司的高管都向往成为电影公司的高层,这不但意味着更加丰厚的薪资,还有更加广泛的权力。 However, although in the Hollywood history has many manager to change professions the case of Film Studio management as well as producer, very successful are not many, Eric previous life remembering, only then wielded Universal Pictures Ron Meyer one has successfully held on to the position of big Film Studio leader. 不过,虽然好莱坞历史上有很多经纪人转行电影公司高管以及制片人的案例,非常成功的却并不多,艾瑞克前世的记忆里里,只有成功执掌环球影业的朗.梅耶一个算是坐稳了大电影公司掌门人的位置。 , Eric did not suggest Kapoor to change professions from the bottom of the heart, but faced the Kapoor thoughts, Eric does not know how should persuade, it seems like can only make the fact prove. 从心底来说,艾瑞克并不建议卡普尔转行,不过面对卡普尔的心思,艾瑞克也不知道该如何劝说,看来只能让事实来证明了。 „Said that tonight's Oscar, I had not paid attention, which award items «Pulp Fiction» does have to be quite hopeful?” “说说今晚的奥斯卡吧,我一直都没怎么关注,《低俗小说》都有哪些奖项比较有希望？” „This year any major suit Director competition, I had not thought that Quentin may attain best Director very much,” Kapoor has also abandoned just matter, said: „But, stablest should be best Original Script.” “今年没什么大牌导演竞争,我觉得昆汀很有可能拿到最佳导演,”卡普尔也抛开了刚刚的事情,说道:“不过,最稳定的应该是最佳原创剧本。” Eric remembers that the previous life this year's best actor should be Tom. 艾瑞克记得前世今年的最佳男主角应该是汤姆. Hanks, because of Hanks ahead of time shoots «Saving Private Ryan», «Philadelphia» has replaced the actor, Eric on Golden Globe Award has not seen the «Philadelphia» best male main nomination, but, thinks that another person, Eric shakes the head saying: „Should that John Travolta best actor also be hopeless?” 汉克斯,不过因为汉克斯提前拍摄了《拯救大兵瑞恩》,《费城故事》就更换了男主角,在金球奖上艾瑞克就没有看到《费城故事》最佳男主的提名,不过,想到另外一个人,艾瑞克摇头道:“那约翰.特拉沃尔塔的最佳男主角也应该没戏吧？” Kapoor nods: „ «My Left Foot» best male Lord of Daniel Day-Lewis several years ago on has lost to Al Pacino, this year he obtained the second nomination, the award-winning probability compared with John. 卡普尔点点头:“丹尼尔.戴.刘易斯在几年前《我的左脚》最佳男主上败给了阿尔.帕西诺,今年他获得了第二次提名,获奖地几率要比约翰. Travolta is much bigger. ” 特拉沃尔塔大得多。” Although «Pulp Fiction» made Commentary and movie fans maliciously shocking, this year does not have the strength strong competitor. 虽然《低俗小说》让评论界和影迷都狠狠地惊艳了一把,今年也没有实力强劲的竞争对手。 But Eric discovered finally that because of the limit of theme, this movie obtains the best picture and other important awards the possibility to be as before low, but afterward fact has also proven this point.( To be continued.) 但艾瑞克最后还是发现,因为题材的限制,这部影片获得最佳影片等重要奖项的可能性依旧非常低,而随后的事实也证明了这一点。(未完待续。)
